PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make photographic conditions by authentication, whose identity cannot be guaranteed by conventional techniques, uniform at low cost in an operation system which does not place a burden on a user.SOLUTION: A finger authentication device includes a housing provided with a finger setting part which guides a finger to a predetermined position, a light source which irradiates the finger with light, an opening part which passes light irradiating the finger and passing through the finger, and is formed at the finger setting part, and an imaging part which images the light passing through the opening part. The housing includes a side wall which is arranged so that at least an upper part of the finger setting part is opened, and at least the side wall of the housing is composed of an antireflective member.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 従来の技術では同一性が保証できなかった、認証ごとの撮影条件を、ユーザにとって負担のない操作体系の中で低コストに均一化させることにある。【解決手段】上記の目的を達成するため、指を所定位置に導く指設置部が設けられた筺体と、指に光を照射する光源と、当該指に照射され、当該指を通過する光を通過させ、前記指設置部に形成された開口部と、当該開口部を通過した前記光を撮像する撮像部と、前記筺体は、前記指設置部の少なくとも上方一部が開放されるように配置された側壁とを備え、前記筺体の内、少なくとも前記側壁は反射防止部材より構成されている。【選択図】 図1
